Judge Bond GROWS severe IN the
Virginia Coupon Matter.
RICHMOND, VA, Oct. SIN the United
States Circuit Court to-day Judge Bond
fined Attorney General Ayers $500 for
bringing suits under the law known as the
coupon crusher" in disobedience of his in
junction order, and committed him to the
custody of the Marshal until the fine is paid.
He also fined the Commonwealth's Attor-
neys of Fauquier and Loudon counties for
disobeying the same order, and committed
them until the fines are paid and the suits
brought are dismissed.
Attorney General Ayres and Common
wealth's Attorney Scott, of Fauquier county,
remained in the custody of deputy marshals
until 10 o'clock tonight, when they were
taken to Jail. They decided to adopt that
course rather than have a deputy marshal
constantly dogging their footsteps, as Judge
Bond had ordered that they should be in
actual and not constructive custody. They
propose now, as soon as the record can be
made out, to apply to the United States
Supreme Court for a writ of habeaS corpus

FIDELITY BANK FIGURES.
Half of the $5,9ooooo in Assets
Classed as Worthless.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-The Comptroller
of the Currency has received the report of
Receiver Armstrong, of the bankrupt
Fidelity Bank, of Cincinnati. The report
has been delayed because of the condition
of the banks accounts. The schedules
place the nominal value of the assets at
upwards of S5,SO0,0O0, of which more
than one half are clasSed as worth
less or doubtful. The apparently
valid claims upon the bank are
about So, S00,000, while there are amounts
in dispute aggregating nearly Sl,5OOOOO.
The subscriptions to the increase of the cap
ital stock, amount to 81, 10000, but less
than half this amount was paid in money,
and even if what was so paid should be
finally adjudged to constitute the liability
of the receivership, it win be nearly all off
set by assessments on the original stock.
The liabilities to depositors are about $500
600, of which little over 100000 appears
to DO held locally.
BANKS AND BANKERS.
Banks and bankers appear as the creditors
for more than S300,000, but some changes
may be made in these figures. On account
of the doubtful value of the assets and the
large claims in dispute it is impossible at
present to make an estimate of what divi-
dends may be paid ultimately. The cash IN
hand and the amount of assets undoubtedly
good at present give a dividend of
% per cent, and the receiver has been in
structed to prepare checks and schedules at
once. Claims amounting to less than one
half of the apparent liabilities of the bank
have been proved under three months no
tice TO creditors in accordance with the
provisions of section 1925 of the Revised
Statutes of the United States, and of course
improved claims must now await attention
until after the first dividend.

GOVERNMENT BONDS.
The Treasury Gets Less Than i
Wanted by 1923, $50.

Wanted by 1923, l so.
WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-The amount of
bonds offered to the government to-day
was S273, 700, of which $262 800 were A.
per cents. and Sll 400 per cents. This
makes the total to date SIS, ,376, $50, which is
S623, $50 less than the amount which the
Treasury Department offered to purchase
for the sinking fund within the period
which expired to-day. Secretary Fairchild
was asked this afternoon whether he would
purchase any more bonds, but declined
mot emphaticaliy to define his
policy on the subject. 1t is
not regarded as likely, however,
that any radical action will be taken unless
some unlocked for change in the money
market should demand it. The time for the
purchase of bonds for the sinking fund will
not be extended 1t is explained at the de-
partment that while the Secretary offered
TO buy $4,000, 600 worth of bonds for this
fund, it is yet an unsettled question whether
that entire sum is needed, and whether the
amount already obtained will not meet the
full requirements of the law.
